Latoya Sharen - Shine (2022)

LaToya Sharen is an empowered woman ready to unleash her musical gift to this world. Born to teenage parents and raised in the small town of Edwardsville, IL, right outside of St. Louis, MO, the singer-songwriter grew up in unconventional circumstances but was always surrounded by love and grounded by faith. By the age of 14, Toya, as she is affectionately called, was the choir director for her local church.

LaToya Sharen took all that pain and passion, and the album “Shine” was born. This album explores love and light from the perspective of faith in God. Produced by Jo “Capo” Kent, “Shine” (Infinity 5) takes you on a journey from Afro-beats, to R&B, to Trap but, never losing its message of hope.

The lead singles “Work On Me" and "Harder To Love" are solid motivational songs inspiring the listener to keep pushing on even if feeling afraid. Ballads like “Inseparable” touch the soul with R&B flair while exploring love in a unique way. “God Love” is a feel-good record with a Caribbean vibe speaking about the goodness of God’s love. The album “Shine” is a gift to the world presented by one of God’s servants named LaToya Sharen.
